    If you are doing this at home you can also use audacity on the PC. I've digitised various audio tapes and it has been successful

      Absolutely and we have posted audacity tutorials for people working at home. However Audition is a little easier to use and more consistent with other editing programs so we demonstrate with it here because it’s on all our machines. But we do support audacity.

      Any decent audio editing software will do it. Goldwave, Audacity, Audition, etc. If you have a DAW, definitely use it. I use Cakewalk Sonar for my conversions.

      I have done so as well used a ADSTECH INSTANT MUSIC USB AUDIO CAPTURE DEVICE, I RECORD THE AUDIO LOUD SO IT SOUNDS BETTER THAN AN NORMAL AUDIO CD I SAVE AS A WAV FILE WHEN IT COMES TO BURNING CD'S I USE AUDIO CD TYPE, I ALSO USE A SONY BOOMBOX NOT A HIGH END DECK FROM PIONEER, TASCAM, TEAC, SINCE THEY TAKE ALOT OF ROOM.

    If I convert my tapes to CD format I always use the DOLBY C for a cleaner sound because tape hiss is annoying and it's not a quality recording in it.

    I have problem when capture audio from cassette , when I took signal from “ phone “ port ,, with solo .. then capture audio . The result will be only L channel . And Audisity application record L channel as stereo ( L and R ) but in real it is L but duplicated..
    how I can record it as two real channel . Because every channel in tape has different level of recording. I tried to capture audio from RCA port , but the signal very weak

      You need a preamp to boost signal.
      What is your source to tape recording?

    Sorry, 192 kbps compression loss IS audible! 256 kbps is hard to distinguish from 44.1/16 pcm but not impossible .

      from tape? haha. I mean use any settings you like.

      I guess if all you want to do just "slap that tune on your computer", then that works.😁

      @@sylvaind9086did you even watch the video? Nobody is claiming that an mp3 should be a preservation master. mp3s at 192 is standard and going beyond that can cause incompatibility problems in other software and hardware. mp3 is a lossy format by definition - if your perceptual abilities are such that you need 256, I would stick to PCM - but spamming the comments isn’t helpful.

      Jared, with respect, I didn't mean to spam the comments. It's just that you said "no one will hear the difference". That is where I beg to differ. And with today's huge storage medium I see no need to not just use 256 or 320. (Yes, I did watch the whole video. )

      @@sylvaind9086 commercial mp3s are 192 it’s the standard for both distribution and listening. By definition is you care about fidelity you don’t do mp3 but colloquially I do stand by my phrasing. But I appreciate your message

    Why are you complicating the presentation? The youngsters are immediately frightened. Use a simple tape recorder that only has one cassette and only plays in one direction! Thanks, the rest is fine.
